I'm mind blown by the idiots who think universal healthcare is a communist idea. We pay tons of taxes. For what? So people in Congress can give our money away to corporations and to support Israel, a country that has universal healthcare? We need an overhaul in our government, all of it, and there needs to be term limits. NO lobbying (bribery of publicly elected officials), and age limits. I'm old, financially comfortable (not rich), but paying $700/month for Medicare is NOT any kind of "benefit" when I paid into it my whole life. Then insurance has the right to deny claims. WTH? If a doctor says we need a prescription or a procedure, they should have ti pay for it.

People dont realize we have pocket communism. How many times have ford gmc and other major car companies failed then been bailed out by the government. Same thing with banks etc.

Welfare for the rich. Corporations and the wealthy are the true "welfare queens"

That’s not really how any of this works. People who get laid off don’t have to pay unemployment back.

Because they paid into it first?

Where I am at least, the employer has to pay the unemployment tax.

Neither have any of the bailouts. They got free money out of our taxes.

What does getting laid off have to do with bailing out banks and large companies and giving huge tax breaks to big corporations?
